India bow to England spinners in battle of first innings

Hindustan Times  

Batting collapse doesn’t fully encapsulate what India have inflicted on themselves, sliding to 171/6 from 86/1. England's Shoaib Bashir celebrates with teammates after the dismissal of India's Rajat Patidar during the second day of the fourth Test But by squandering the opportunity of making the most of a pitch that is slow but not exactly devious, against a spin attack that by all means is still low on experience, India may have let England a way back into this Test and series. England have been exceptional and their bowling for this Test has been near perfect, but India’s inability to rough out a phase they knew would come has once again put their position in jeopardy. With the ball dying on England wicketkeeper Ben Foakes, he lunged forward to take the catch, setting off a confident appeal but replays on referral showed the ball to be touching the ground, though Foakes looked sanguine it hadn’t. He had still put in a pretty big stride when Bashir beat the inside edge first ball but replays showed he hadn’t got entirely outside the line, meaning the umpire’s call on impact held ground.
